RE: Soothing words for the spouse?
red strobes( you a fire man?) thats a good one ! let me tell a little story.
OH back in 1988 we were on our first christmas married. so old bubba rebel me was out in k mart just shopping . i wanted a rem 870 to shoot skeet with the guys in my unit in the army. so kmart had a great deal on a rem 870 wingmaster. like 300 bucks. so old dummy me goes and puts it on layaway.
think i have done something great , got her a gift to give me i would really want. so i go home and break this enlightening thought to her.
MAN SMOKE WAS ROLLING!!! she blew up like a ton of c4.
it wasn't right to pick out your own gift thats something the giving party does. it went on for hours . i said a few choice words and told her i would just go get the gun . i could have paid for it on the spot no problem . but i just thought.( thats what i got for thinking)
well the next day she went and got the gun while i was at work. i didnt know this and went there after work and was shocked when they told me it had been picked up.
Dummy mistake #2 . i asked her about it. here we went again . i got the gun that night but didn't do that again.
Now i just say i bought MYSELF a present!
OH and nice gifts for her. last year i bought her a pair of diamond ear rings set in white gold . very nice ! worth oh about 1500 bucks. i got a deal on them, trust me . she lost one of them!
Dummy mistake #3 i made the statement i never lost a gun. whoa the fires on!!
I am going to learn someday to keep my mouth shut! but it's fun to spice up a marriage. you know making up??
And if she knew i was writing this on cyber world ...SHAZAM mistake #4 BOOM!!!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
